Carlos Miravitlles-Torras

Carlos Miravitlles-Torras was a Professor at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) from 1986 to 2008. He founded and directed the Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB) and later served at the Instituto de Ciencias de la Construcción Eduardo Torroja (IETcc). His research focused on structural crystallography and X-ray diffraction, particularly in inorganic materials and surface reconstructions. He was honored with the Narcís Monturiol Medal and held memberships in the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Barcelona and Academia Europaea. No advisees or grants are listed in the provided materials.

Research Interests: His work emphasized structural analysis of materials using crystallographic techniques, including X-ray diffraction applications in surface science and phase transition studies in inorganic compounds. He pioneered methods for solving complex crystal structures from powder and surface data.

Labs/Teams: As founder of ICMAB, he led a multidisciplinary team advancing materials science research in Spain. His legacy includes foundational contributions to crystallographic methodologies in solid-state and surface analysis.
